Liver surgical procedures
Liver resection (hepatectomy)
Surgical removal of part of the liver, ranging from removal of a single segment to extended hemihepatectomy. The liver has remarkable regenerative capacity, allowing resection of up to 70–80% of the organ in healthy patients. Dr. Sujeeth uses intraoperative ultrasound and careful anatomical planning to maximise safety.
Liver abscess drainage
Liver abscesses, collections of infected fluid within the liver, are typically managed with image-guided percutaneous drainage combined with targeted antibiotic therapy. Surgical drainage is reserved for large, complex, or non-responsive abscesses.
Portal hypertension surgery
Raised pressure in the portal venous system, most commonly due to liver cirrhosis, causes serious complications including oesophageal varices and ascites. Surgical shunt procedures are sometimes required when endoscopic and medical treatments are insufficient.
Liver cyst management
Simple liver cysts are often asymptomatic, but large cysts may require laparoscopic deroofing (unroofing). Hydatid cysts, which are parasitic in origin, require careful surgical excision to prevent spillage and recurrence.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Can the liver regenerate after surgery?
A: Yes. The liver is unique among abdominal organs in its regenerative capacity. In patients with healthy liver function, the remnant liver grows back to near-normal size within 6–8 weeks after resection of up to 70–80% of the organ.
Q: Is liver surgery safe?
A: In experienced hands, liver resection carries an acceptably low complication rate. Dr. Sujeeth conducts thorough pre-operative assessment, including liver function tests, volumetric CT, and cardiorespiratory evaluation, to ensure each patient is appropriately optimised beforehand.
Q: When is liver transplantation recommended?
A: Liver transplantation is considered for end-stage liver disease (cirrhosis), acute liver failure, or liver cancers meeting specific criteria. Dr. Sujeeth can refer and co-manage patients requiring transplant assessment with specialist transplant centres.
